Mercury enters Aries

Mercury is in Aries from March 10-May 15, 2024. [Why so long? Mercury stays in Aries longer than usual this year due to its upcoming retrograde cycle.]

When Mercury is in Aries, we are less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations, and more concerned with reaching a decision…quickly!

Our thoughts and ideas are pioneering, and we tend to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries.

Mercury in Aries themes:

• quick, possibly impatient or hurried, decisions
• independent thought
• mental competitiveness
• direct, straightforward, honest, uncomplicated (perhaps insensitive or blunt) communications
• executive decisions
• preference to learn through personal experience, not instruction
• quick, perhaps defensive or combative, responses

Mercury spends more than the usual few weeks in the sign of Aries in 2024 due to a retrograde cycle that will occur entirely in Aries from April 1st to 25th, 2024.
